Building Recovery and Reform through Democratic Governance (BRDG)-Liberia.

Publication Date	2007

Page Count	70
Abstract	The United States Agency for International Development's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) implements cutting-edge, short-term, responsive and innovative programming within a country's transitional government. The average duration that OTI is present in countries is approximately three years, due to its focus on quick outcomes to stabilize a country emerging from conflict and to evolve the programming to change with the country's political and security situation. The aim is to respond to immediate needs and create interventions that provide a momentum for positive change that would open the way for eventual future development. USAID/DCHA1/OTI entered Liberia in February 2004 during the formation of the National Transitional Government of Liberia (NTGL) and commenced its programming with the Liberian Transition Initiative (LTI). Liberia held its first democratic elections in October 2005 and inaugurated President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in January 2006. OTI ended the two-and-a-half-year LTI program in August 2006. The country's historic move to a new government was the basis for OTI to consider whether to remain in Liberia or to close operations and to possibly handover any activities to USAID and other U.S. government agencies.
